[A/S] Holding Tank Dilemma



I am a new Airstreamer and I accidentally dropped a cleaning brush 
(12"long with a tennis ball size nylon bristle on one end) into a 
clean, empty holding tank. I have flushed four full tanks of water 
through the system and have been unable to dislodge the brush. From 
what I can determine, the exit flow is normal and not restricted, 
however the subsequent entry of solids into the tank would be another 
matter.

I could remove the toilet, but doubt that I could retrieve and 
extract the brush from the tank through this port. Another choice is 
to remove the tank and try to remove the object through the exit end 
of the tank. Both methods require considerable work. Of course I 
could just do nothing and pray a lot.

So, I appeal to all you experienced Airstreamer's for guidance in 
resolving my current dilemma.  Thanking all of you that respond with 
advice and suggestions in advance.
